I see the same thing happening here- social services have run out of needy people that they actually have the ability to help, so they're desperately looking for more clients to keep on expanding the business. It'll end the same way as the banks-wish I could call the top of the market though.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-4280556808498719722009-02-04T22:54:00.000+00:002009-02-04T22:54:00.000+00:00I am sure Stan is correct in every detail.However,...I am sure Stan is correct in every detail.<BR/><BR/>However, a handy byproduct of this nonsense will indeed be more state surveillance.

The usual consequence of this - as we see all too often - is social services dealing in dreadfully draconian ways with those they don't care about offending while doing their utmost to be "sensitive" tp foreign cultures. The problem isn't that there aren't sufficient laws, regulations or even funding to deal with the real issues - just an inability to overcome the barrier of self-imposed political correctness and cultural sensitivity for fear of being branded racist, sexist or, worst of all, right wing.Stanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-19195828368535712742009-02-04T12:42:00.000+00:002009-02-04T12:42:00.000+00:00You sometimes wonder?Sometimes?Where have you been...You sometimes <I>wonder</I>?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes?<BR/><BR/>Where have you been for the last few years?
